Recent highlights on the opera stage include Faninal/Der Rosenkavalier under the baton of Kent Nagno in Los Angeles and, Albert/Werther und Turnage‘s Greek at Opernfestspielen Munich, Balstrode/Peter Grimes at Palau de les Arts Valencia and at Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Klingsor/Parsifal in Turku, Widmann’s Babylon/Priest King at Concertgebouw Amsterdam under Markus Stenz, as well as Gunter in Wagner’s Ring in Amsterdam and Antwerpen. Furthermore, he sang the lead role, Ben Ata, in the world premiere of Philip Glass' Marriage of zones three, four and five.

Robert Bork is also very sought after as a concert singer. His repertoire is as versatile as his opera repertoire and ranges from contemporary works such as Das Floß der Medusa by Hans Werner Henze to Brahms‘ Ein deutsches Requiem, Mahler's 8th Symphony, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and J.S. Bachs‘ St. Matthew-Passion and b-minor Mass.

Among Bork’s future projects is the role of Balstrode/Peter Grimes at Oper Köln as well as the title role of Bluebeard’s Castle in a concertante performance in Barcelona.
